DON'T BE OFFENDED
Now all of us that have heard the “Word”, know that we've been told,
That truth to one another is a virtue that is as valuable as pure gold.
We know that our words can hurt, when lacking kindness and His love.
So show your faith to those who hear, and use our teaching from Above.
We are taught to love each other, and avoid those hurtful unkind words.
Be aware of those who can't hear, and repeat again what wasn't heard.
For this is the behavior of a Christian, who shows consideration in his acts,
He's not “offended” to repeat his words, for he's considerate of the facts.
To be offended most often shows, one who's mind is closed and won't hear,
This is a Christian who will not learn, and who lives within himself in fear.
We each need to test ourselves against His teachings to be loving and true,
For if we pass the test that He provides, then His blessings He'll give to you.

Great poem, very well worded. This line stood out the most to me:
"To be offended most often shows, one who's mind is closed and won't hear,
This is a Christian who will not learn, and who lives within himself in fear."
I see this a lot in people.
